Additionally, the compounds of structural formula (I) are useful in alleviating visceral pain caused by IBS and/or other gastrointestinal disorders, because they can reduce visceral pain and discomfort associated with IBS and the like.

The compounds of structural formula (I) may be administered orally or parenterally, and alone or in combination with conventional pharmaceutical carriers. Applicable solid carriers can include one or more substances that may also act as flavoring agents, lubricants, solubilizers, suspending agents, fillers, glidants, compression aids, binders, tablet-disintegrating agents, or encapsulating materials. In powders, the carrier may be a finely divided solid that is in admixture with the finely divided active ingredient. In tablets, the active ingredient is mixed with a carrier having necessary compression properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets may contain up to 99% of the active ingredient.

Suitable solid carriers include, for example, calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugars, lactose, dextrin, starch, gelatin, cellulose, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidine, low melting waxes, and ion exchange resins. Liquid carriers may be used in preparing solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, and elixirs.

The active ingredient can be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier such as water, an organic solvent, a mixture of both, or pharmaceutically acceptable oils or fats. The liquid carrier can contain other suitable pharmaceutical additives such as solubilizers, emulsifiers, buffers, preservatives, sweeteners, flavoring agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, colors, viscosity regulators, stabilizers, or osmo-regulators. Suitable examples of liquid carriers for oral and parenteral administration include water (particularly containing additives as above, e.g., cellulose derivatives, preferably a sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution), alcohols (including monohydric alcohols and polyhydric alcohols, e.g., glycols) and their derivatives, and oils (e.g., fractionated coconut oil and arachis oil).

For parenteral administration, the carrier can also be an oily ester such as ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate. Sterile liquid carriers are used in sterile liquid form compositions for parenteral administration. Liquid pharmaceutical compositions that are sterile solutions or suspensions can be utilized by, for example, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous injection. Sterile solutions can also be administered intravenously.

Oral administration may be either in liquid or solid composition form. Preferably, the pharmaceutical compositions containing the present compounds are in unit dosage form, e.g., as tablets or capsules. In such form, the composition is sub-divided in unit dosages containing appropriate quantities of the active ingredients. The unit dosage forms can be packaged compositions, for example, packaged powders, vials, ampoules, prefilled syringes, or sachets containing liquids. Alternatively, the unit dosage form can be, for example, a capsule or tablet itself, or it can be an appropriate number of any such compositions in package form. The therapeutically effective dosage to be used may be varied or adjusted by the administering physician, and generally ranges from 0.5 mg to 750 mg, according to the specific condition(s) being treated and the size, age, and response pattern of the patient.

The compounds of structural formula (I) may be administered to patients at a dosage of from 0.7 to 7000 mg per day. For a normal human adult with a body weight of approximately 70 kg, the administration amount is translated into a daily dose of 0.01 to 100 mg per kg of body weight. The specific dosage employed, however, may vary depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the patient's condition, and the activity of the compound.

A mixture of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-((piperidin-4-yl)methyl)benzamide (5.0 mmol), 2-bromoacetophenone (6.0 mmol), and potassium carbonate (7.6 mmol) was stirred in 15 mL of acetonitrile for 2 h. This solution was then concentrated in a rotary evaporator and diluted with ethyl acetate. This mixture was then washed with brine, and the resulting organic layer was dried and purified by column chromatography. This was dissolved in ethanol (10 mL) and was added with sodium borohydride (10.0 mmol) at 0° C. and stirred at 25° C. for 2 h. This solution was concentrated on a rotary evaporator and diluted with ethylacetate. This mixture was washed with brine, dried, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography. The resulting 4-amino-5-chloro-N-((1-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)piperidin-4-yl)methyl)-2-methoxybenzamide was dissolved in methylene chloride (MC) and the solution was treated with a solution of HCl in ether. The resulting precipitate was filtered to give the title compound.

Example 161 Gastric Emptying Enhancing Activity

ICR CD strain male mice (body weight, 25˜30 g; 8 mice per one group) were fasted for 24 h but allowed free access to water until 3 hours before the test.

Compounds to be tested for promoting GI motility were injected intraperitoneally or given orally at 30 min or 60 min prior to phenol red meal administration. Fifteen (15) min after administration of a test meal (0.5% Phenol red in 1.5% methylcellulose solution), mice were sacrificed and the stomach (pylorus˜cardia) was removed and collected to vial. The stomach was homogenized with its contents in 0.1N NaOH and the mixture was centrifuged (700*g) for 20 min. 2.5 mL of the supernatant was added to 0.25 mL of trichloroacetic acid solution (20% w/v) to precipitate proteins. After centrifuging (2600*g) for 20 min, 0.5 mL of the supernatant was added to 0.25 mL of 1N NaOH. The mixture was homogenized and its absorbance (Abs) was read at 560 nm.

In each experiment, one group was sacrificed just after the administration of the test meal and was considered as a standard (0% emptying). The gastric emptying (GE) at the 15 min period was calculated according to the following formula. GE(%)=(1−Abs_(test)/Abs_(standard))×100 Increase(%)=(GE%_(test)−GE%_(vehicle))/GE%_(vehicle)*100

As shown in Table 1, most compounds of this invention exhibited a potent gastric emptying enhancing effect at a dose of 3 mg/kg.

As is clear from the above experimental result, the compounds of the structural formula (I) and pharmaceutically useful salts have excellent gastrointestinal motility enhancing activity, and hence are useful for treating the diseases of the gastrointestinal tract such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), specifically constipation-predominant IBS, and gastric motility disorder.

5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) released from enterochromaffin cells regulate gastrointestinal function in either an excitatory or inhibitory manner. The gastrointestinal motility enhancing activity is characteristic of agonism on 5-HT4 receptors. 5-HT4 receptor agonists can stimulate upper or lower gut motility while 5-HT4 antagonists inhibit the enhanced gut motility by 5-HT4 agonists.

The compounds of the structural formula (I) have 5-HT4 receptor binding activity and stimulate gut motility (see Table 1). Therefore, enhancing gut motility of the compounds of the structural formula (I) is believed to be mediated by agonism on 5-HT4 receptors.

Hypersensitivity to colorectal distension is common in patients with IBS and may be responsible for the major symptom of visceral pain. Both inflammatory and non-inflammatory animal models of visceral hyperalgesia to distension as will be described in Example 162 and 163, respectively, have been developed to investigate the effect of a compound on visceral pain in IBS.

Example 162 TNBS-Induced Colorectal Hypersensitivity Test

Wistar rats (body weight, 200-225 g; 8-10 rats per a group) were surgically prepared for electromyographic recording to a previously described technique (Morteau et al., Dig Dis Sci, 1994, 39(6):1239-1248). After laparotomy, three groups of three electrodes were implanted in the striated muscles of the abdomen. Electrodes were exteriorized on the back of the neck and protected by a glass tube attached to the skin.

Colorectal distension (CRD) was performed with balloon inflated by 5 min steps of 15 mmHg from 0 to 60 mmHg by connecting the balloon to computerized barostat. Rats were submitted to CRD 1 day before (basal condition) and 3 days after intra-rectal administration of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS 80 mg/kg intrarectally). Colonic pressure and balloon volume were continuously monitored on a potentiometric recorder (L6514, Linseis, Selb, Germany) with a paper speed of 1 cm·min-1.

Five day after the administration of TNBS, rats were treated with test article or their vehicle (carboxymethyl cellulose 0.5%, 1 mL po) one hour before distension. The number of spike bursts that correspond to abdominal contractions was determined per 5 min periods. Values are expressed as means±SEM. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student's “t” test and criterion for statistical significance was p<0.05.

Table 2 summarizes the result of the activity of the compound obtained in Example 68 as a test compound in the TNBS-induced colorectal hypersensitivity model. Significant decreases in abdominal contraction are observed at 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg of test compound. This result shows that the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention has visceral pain reducing activity in rat preclinical model.

Example 163 PRS (Partial Restraint Stress)-Induced Colorectal Hypersensitivity Test

Adult female Wistar rats (body weight, 225-250 g; 6-7 rats per group) were prepared for electromyography. After anaesthetization, three pairs of nichrome wire electrodes were implanted bilaterally in the striated muscles at 3 cm laterally from the midline. The free ends of electrodes were exteriorized on the back of the neck and protected by a glass tube attached to the skin.

PRS, a relatively mild stress, was performed as previously described in Bradesi S, Eutamene H, Garcia-Villar R, Fioramonti J, Buena L; ‘Acute and chronic stress differently affect visceral sensitivity to rectal distension in female rats.’ Neurogastroenterol. Mot. (2002) 14, 75-82.

Rats were placed in a plastic tunnel, where they are not allowed to move or escape several days before colorectal distension (CRD). The balloon, connected to a barostat was inflated progressively by steps of 15 mmHg, from 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 mmHg, each step of inflation lasting 5 min. To determine the antinoiciceptive effect of a test compound on PRS-induced visceral hypersensitivity, the test compound or vehicle (CMC 0.5%) was given orally (PO), 1 hr 15 min after the beginning of the PRS. Three hours before and 15 min after the stress session, a CRD was performed.

The number of spike bursts corresponding to abdominal contractions per 5 min periods was determined for each volume of distension. Colonic pressure and balloon volume were continuously monitored on a potentiometric recorder (L6514, Linseis, Selb, Germany). Values are expressed as means±SEM.

Statistical analysis was performed by a one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a Dunnett test. p<0.05 was considered as significant.

Table 3 summarizes the results of the activity of the compound obtained in Example 68 as a test compound in the PRS-induced colorectal hypersensitivity model. Significant decreases in abdominal contraction are observed at 30 mg/kg. This result shows that the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention has visceral pain reducing activity.
